It's time for the Angelic Layer regional finals in Kanto, Japan, and in honor of the occasion, an all-new fighting arena has been unveiled! For the first time ever, players must navigate their robotic Angels around an interactive 3-D environment filled with craggy peaks and smoky crevices. Misaki Suzuhara, the Angelic Layer prodigy who went from pretender-to-contender in her first day of competition, is the first unlucky player to fight in the new ring. Her opponent is the super-experienced Kaede Saitou, whose Angel, Blanche, has a wicked hyper-mode attack. Fortunately, Misaki's got a few new tricks of her own.
